Default Heteronormative?! HETERONORMATIVE??!

http://www.thecrimson.com/today/article506104.html

Oh, for the love of God.

1.) So now you must include all of the people of planet Earth in everything you say, or you are "insensitive."

2.) HETERONORMATIVE???!!

3.) What donkeys would call Jada Pinkett-Smith "Artist of the Year?"

The world is getting dumber and dumber.

In fact, just yesterday, I could not remember the word subjectivity. It just would NOT come to me, seriously.

I wonder if this is because I am dumbing down along with the rest of the world, or if maybe it's because the word I was attempting to recall is merely a symbol for something which has become pretty much vestigial.

If it makes you feel better I learned a new word today because of you in that that LBT post of yours.

" Mendacious " I had to look it up. I like that word. And I loved the way you used it in your vitriolic attack on MTV and everything that is false and primitive.


EDIT: Had to look up "Vestigial" as well.

I have been accused here before of doing this on purpose, as some sort of ostentatious, er, I mean, uh, show-offy display of vocabulary.

I promise, I do not.

I like the word mendacious, too. It's perfect for certain contexts.

Ostentatious?

No.

Pretentious?

Yes.

Entertaining reading?

Most Definitely.

And that's all that really matters here in OOT land.

I also like how you dumbed down your wordiness and used the term show offy as a bastardized replacement of the infinitely more appropriate "ostentatious."

Goddamnit, that's what I'm saying. I am not being pretentious. This is simply how I speak, and, therefore, write.

I am sorry.

Anyway, I plan on going for more of a clicking and whistling-type thing sometime real soon.

Well, yeah--I did that for effect.

By wordiness, do you mean verbosity?

Why do assume pretentiousness automatically has a negative connotation to it?

Grandiosity is what makes America great.

I was thinking more along the lines of "articulatoriness." [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
